Vegan omega 3 from algae oil

Our omega-3 comes from the microalga Schizochytrium sp. The algae are grown in a closed system. The product is manufactured in Europe. The capsules contain no fish and no fish oil. The capsule shell is plant-based, not gelatine. Both variants are registered with The Vegan Society. They are not certified organic: that applies only to Whey Natural Organic, Casein Organic, Vegan Protein Organic and Vitamin C Acerola Organic (inspected by Skal, NL-BIO-01).

The difference between the two variants

You choose between two packs of 90 capsules.

  • Omega 3 DHA provides 250 mg DHA per capsule and no EPA.
  • Omega 3 DHA + EPA provides 210 mg DHA and 70 mg EPA per capsule, 280 mg together.

DHA and EPA are two different omega-3 fatty acids. If you want DHA only, and the highest amount per capsule, Omega 3 DHA is the most direct choice. If you want both fatty acids in one capsule, that is Omega 3 DHA + EPA.

Dosage

The dosage is stated on the product page and on the label.

What may legally be said about this

The wordings below are taken verbatim from the EU register.

For Omega 3 DHA, at a daily intake of 250 mg DHA, exactly one capsule:

  • DHA contributes to maintenance of normal brain function
  • DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision

For Omega 3 DHA + EPA, at a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA combined, which one capsule provides:

  • EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart

Omega 3 DHA + EPA provides 210 mg DHA per capsule and therefore does not meet the condition of 250 mg DHA a day. The two DHA wordings above apply to Omega 3 DHA only.

Frequently asked questions

Which omega-3 variants do you carry?

Two: Omega 3 DHA – Algae Oil, with 250 mg DHA per capsule, and Omega 3 DHA + EPA – Algae Oil for anyone who wants both fatty acids.

Why do you choose algae oil rather than fish oil?

Algae are the original source of EPA and DHA; fish take up those fatty acids by eating algae. That makes algae oil suitable for a plant-based diet.

How many capsules are in a pack?

Ninety capsules, which at one capsule per day is enough for three months.

How much DHA is needed for the approved health claim?

250 mg per day. One capsule of Omega 3 DHA – Algae Oil provides exactly that amount.
